Indradyumna Swami and organizers of the US Sadhu Sanga Kirtan Retreat have announced that the 2026 gathering will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana, over Memorial Day Weekend, May 22–25, 2026. The annual event, known for drawing thousands of devotees for immersive kirtan and fellowship, will be held at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans, a 4-star hotel on the banks of the Mississippi River.
The venue offers 1,200 onsite rooms and more than 75,000 square feet of hall space across three large rooms, providing a spacious setting for what is expected to be one of the largest ISKCON gatherings in North America. Organizers anticipate more than 5,000 attendees for the 2026 retreat.
Several leading kirtan leaders have already confirmed their participation, including Sacinandana Swami, Radhanath Swami, Badahari Das, Vaisesika Das, Mukunda Datta Das, Madhava Das, Sri Prahlada Das, and Indradyumna Swami. Additional invitations are pending confirmation from Jayapataka Swami, Sivarama Swami, BB Govinda Swami, Acyuta Gopi, and others. Over the four-day event, participants can look forward to more than 40 hours of kirtan along with prasadam served three times daily.
Organizers note that the 2026 retreat holds special significance, as it coincides with ISKCON’s 60th anniversary. The milestone offers devotees an opportunity to gather in large numbers to chant, dance, and honor the legacy of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
